Success...

I was just reading the book The Greatest Mystery in the World by Og Mandino, and it says at one point.  "A glorious failure leads to nothing; a petty success may lead to a success that is not petty." The book is talking about how to be successful, and it is stating in this particular chapter that we are all given the same amount of time each day.  Those who manage it better, are more successful.  It goes on to warn that in any endeavor to start small, and build up, not to overload our plate so that we are weighted down and set up to fail.  Just wanted to share.  I am loving this book.  This is an inexpensive read, by one of the worlds most renowned self help expert. I love all his books that I have read so far.  Would recommend this one to anyone open to improve their lives.

Move forward!

To be accepting of the past you must not regret. To be fearless of the future you must learn, love, and above all be ready for change

Spinach smoothy...

If you are like me you are think oh grosss who would eat that, well if you know me at all you know I can be pretty picky. You can't even taste the spinach as long as you put in a banana.  It is perfect for picky eaters like myself, just don't pay attention to the color, it really isn't pretty.  Okay you ready for the recipe. I don't measure I just guestimate...

1 banana
Spinach
Frozen Strawberries
Frozen Peaches
Small Yogurt
Flax seed (just like 1/8 C)
Oatmeal - I added this so I can use this as my breakfast for my healthy challenge that I am participating in.
Vanilla Protein powder - I added this for the challenge as well.
Water - just enough to get it to mix in the blender...  you could use juice as well.

The oatmeal makes it kinda pasty, but it is not bad, I was a little worried about it.  Okay so I have a fantastic super anti-oxidant rich well rounded breakfast that is perfect for on the go.  Try it I dare you!!!  Would love to hear what you thought of it.

Allergies

Okay so this year has been awful for allergies... I am really feeling it.  So I started with my essential oils, and they have helped a bunch, I started out just smelling my peppermint, when that wasn't enough I actually have been just putting a drop on my tounge... it has worked wonders.  The key to this method is using it regularly.  Hope this little trick helps others.  A few other oils to try are lemon, lavender or doTERRA's Breath blend.

Running

My run this morning was great I got in 2 miles in 20 minutes.  I am trying to get in 20 min of exercise each day as I am participating in another fitness contest.  The blog with all the details is healthychallengegroup .  I have copied and pasted the just of the plan here, I hope you will all consider joining... really a great way to get in shape before we have to be seen in the summer clothes, or even better the dreaded swim suit!!  Get on the ball and get your money in.

All contestants donate $10 into the pot. Winner takes all the money! If there is a tie, the money is divided. There are 13 points that can be earned each day.

Here is the breakdown:
  • Healthy and correctly portioned breakfast - 1 point
  • Healthy and correctly portioned lunch - 1 point
  • Healthy and correctly portioned dinner - 1 point
What is healthy and correctly portioned? 1/2 of your plate should be fruits and vegetables, 1/4 should be whole grains, and 1/4 should be lean meat/protein, one serving of each. It doesn't have to be complicated. Just use your best judgment!

  • 2 healthy snacks a day - 1 point
  • Take muli-vitamin - 1 point
  • Exercise at least 20 minutes per day - 2 points
  • Drink 2 liters (or 67 oz.) of water - 1 point
  • No Sugar - 1 point
This basically means no sweets. No candy, cake, cookies, brownies, fruit juice with sugar, soda pop, etc.

  • No Unhealthy snacks - 1 point
This goes one step beyond the no sugar rule. Unhealthy is defined as any product high in fat or salt (processed foods like chips and hot dogs).

  • No caffeine - 1 point
  • No food 2 hours before bed - 1 point
  • At least 7 hours of sleep at night - 1 point
FREE DAY: Each week you can pick the day of the week that will be your "free day". You will not keep track of points on this day. You can also not use your free day to "catch up" on points you lost during the week. No points can be earned on your free day. Be sure to plan ahead for family parties, date nights, etc.

The total you can earn in a week is 78 points (13 points a day for 6 days). You will then report your points every Sunday on this blog. When you sign up, I will put you in as an author on the blog (I will just need your email address). For every day after Sunday that you send in your points, you will will lose a point! This will give you a chance to see how you are doing in comparison to everybody else. (Obviously, a big factor in this competition is honestly!) You also can post how you are doing, healthy snack ideas, great dinner ideas, exercise routines, struggles, successes etc.

The competition will start May 24th and end June 21st (4 weeks). That will give us a week and a half to get geared up! All money is due by May 24th.

There are no requirements for weighing in or measuring, although it is recommended! If you don't win the challenge at least you'll be able to see if your body changes over the 4 weeks.

Buy 5 Bottles of Food Enzymes for $80.

Benefits of this Top-Ten Product:

• Helps prevent or relieve occasional indigestion.
• Supplements the body's production of important enzymes.
• Provides a blend of enzymes to digest proteins, carbohydrates and fats.
• Provides hydrochloric acid and bile salts to help digest proteins and fats.

Let me know if you are interested in a bottle, they retail at $24.25.  This deal makes them $16/bottle when you buy 5.    Thought I would pass this along.

If I have at lest 5 bottles worth of interest we can get the deal.

Benefits:
•Supplements the body’s production of important enzymes.
•Provides a blend of enzymes to digest proteins,carbohydrates and fats.
•Provides hydrochloric acid and bile salts to help digest proteins and fats.
•Helps prevent or relieve occasional indigestion.

Food Enzymes [Digestive, Immune] is a key product for the digestive system. Foods require processing (digestion), and enzymes are able to break down food compounds for absorption into the bloodstream. A number of different enzymes are needed to deal with differing food compounds. Some of these are produced by the body, some are found in foods. However, many processed foods lack the enzymes needed for proper digestion.

This formulation supplements the body’s production of digestive enzymes and those enzymes found in the diet. For example, pepsin is used for the digestion of proteins (betaine hydrochloride or HCl); pancreatin is produced by the pancreas to digest proteins, carbohydrates and fats in the small intestines; mycozyme digests starches; papain and bromelain digest protein; bile salts emulsify fats and prepare them for further digestion by lipase.

Taking this product with meals will support the body’s digestion of protein, carbohydrates and fats. One capsule will help you digest a minimum of 30 grams of protein, 30 grams of carbohydrates and 20 grams of fats. Each capsule supplies a proprietary blend of:

Betaine HCl (for proteins)
Bile salt (for fats)
Bromelain (for proteins)
Lipase (contains lactose from milk, for fats)
Alpha-amylase (mycozyme, for starch)
Pancreatin (8xUSP, for all foods)

I listened to the webinar doTERRA posted on this and people are loosing on average 1lb every 3 days while using this product.  On the webinar they broke down each ingredient and told why they chose to add this in, so I thought I would share as I found it facinating.
Cinnamon - is said to help stop the body from producing fat cells, in addition to helping the pancreas in regulating blood sugar levels.
Ginger - Great for helping cells release fat.
Peppermint - curbs apatite, reduces cravings, creates a feeling of saity, and helps the digestive system.
Grapefruit & Lemon - Containes limonine which helps the body to not produce as many fat cells, inhibits tumors, releases fat, reduces toxicity (which appears as cellulite)
It is a great product for helping to loose weight,  help regulate your blood sugar, help curb your craving for sweets, and curb your apatite in general. I have been using it sometimes in my water, and sometimes just on my tounge, so far I have noticed that it has helped me to curb my apatite, and I am having an easier time maintaining my weight.  The key to this product is regular daily consistent use, doTERRA recommends using this product 3-5 times per day and 3-5 drops per serving.  If anyone has used this product I would love to hear your stories.

This is a fairly basic class, however we will be demonstrating doTERRA's aromatouch technique. This is a great opportunity to come and learn. AND IT IS FREE!!! Please RSVP, I would love to see you there, and bring a friend!

Address is 45 E 800 S, Wellsville, UT at 7:00.

Deep thoughts from Sheena

Just had the thought the other day as I was talking to my Dad.  We were talking about how people keep up with everything that they do and my Dad said the more you exercise and move the more your body wants to exercise and move.  The more you sit, the more your body wants to sit.  Which made me think of one of Newtons laws that states that an object set in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by an equal or greater force.   This made me think further that he was possibly not just talking about a ball being thrown, but maybe our bodies as well.  Thinking that if we stay in motion we will want to continue in motion, if we exercise our bodies will want to continue to exercise, and if we sit our bodies will want to just sit.  So remember that next time you go to sit down to watch TV....  I know I have.

Me Time

Okay so I told you I have been reading a lot lately in my down time... well I have!!  I just finished the latest Black Dagger Brotherhood book, and it was good, it took me a bit to get into this one, but the end made it so worth it.  I bawled my eyes out through the last part of the book, but it was so fantastic!!  Just wanted to share with you a little bit of my me time!!  From what I have found Amazon has the best price on this book, so run out and pick it up!!

Happy Anniversary!!

Just wanted to share with all of you that my hubby and I have been married now for 7 years!!  Happy Anniversary to the best husband out there!!!  Just know that 7 years ago it was raining on this day!!  They told me at the time that it was good luck, and I believe them.  They say that rain on the day of an important event or ceremony is symbolic of washing it clean so that it starts out as pure as it can, makes sense to me. 

Dustin I just want you to know how much I love and appreciate you.  You are my perfect match and keep me in line, you always want what is best for me and I love you for that!  I am so glad that we found each other, I cannot imagine my life without you!  Thank you for choosing me! I love you!

Love

Cancer

I found this fantastic and interesting article at http://drrobwellness.com/health_tips.html.  I thought it was worth sharing, check out his website it is great!

The big C, Cancer. No one wants to hear your doctor say it or hear that a friend has it. It’s not always a death sentence and yet even with all of Western medicine’s fancy machines and deadly chemicals our cancer survival rates are only slightly higher than what they were in 1950. Why you ask, with all the money we’ve spent trying to cure cancer? I believe the answer is in that question. Cancer is the # 2 money producer in the world, second only to oil. I don’t like to be a conspirest but I think when something doesn’t make sense you should follow the money, and there is a lot of money to follow with cancer.
Someday we will look back at how western medicine treats cancer and we will ask ourselves ‘how could we have been so barbaric?!’ The current chemo’therapy’ is to bring the body as close to death as possible and hope that the cancer dies before the patient.
Holistic thought is to try to make the body as healthy as possible and allow the body to cure itself. Here’s the kicker, we are all getting cancer all the time, but fortunately for most of us, our bodies are healthy enough that our body recognized the unusual cells and destroys them. Its only when our bodies become unhealthy and out of a line that cancer cells are able to grow unchecked.
Cancer and bacteria can only grow in an acidic environment. Therefore if we keep our bodies slightly alkaline it makes it very difficult for cancer and bacteria to multiply. Unfortunately the western diet is loaded with acid forming foods like meat, simple carbohydrates (like white sugar, breads, and desserts) and low on alkaline forming foods like most raw fruits and vegetables. Our diets should be made up of 80% alkaline forming foods and 20% acid forming foods.
But you say to me, Dr Rob I already have cancer, simply changing my diet isn’t going to be enough. And I would say you’re probably right!, more steps need to be taken.
Nobel prize winner Linus Pauling showed that cancer could be treated using intravenous vitamin C. The good news is that even if you have decided to take chemotherapy IV vit C therapy has no negative effects against the chemo treatment and in fact it reduces many of the negative side effects of chemo like nauseaness. IV vit C therapy would be my first recommendation for anyone diagnosed with cancer.
My second recommendation is to start taking something called Essiac tea. Essiac, given its name by Rene Caisse ("caisse" spelt backwards), consists of four main herbs that grow in the wilderness of Ontario, Canada. The original formula is believed to have its roots from the native Canadian Ojibway Indians.
The four main herbs that make up Essiac are
Burdock Root, Slippery Elm Inner Bark, Sheep Sorrel and Indian Rhubarb Root Rene Caisse devoted over fifty years of her life to treating thousands of cancer patients with Essiac. So effective were her treatments that in 1938 her supporters gathered 55,000 signatures for a petition, amongst other petitions, to allow Rene Caisse to continue treating cancer patients. A bill was introduced in the Ontario legislature to (allegedly) "authorize Rene Caisse to practice medicine in the Province of Ontario in the treatment of cancer and conditions therein". Due to the machinations of the medical establishment, the bill failed to pass by just three votes.
Rene Caisse operated her cancer clinic under the supervision and observation of a number of doctors. Based on what those doctors saw with their own eyes, eight of them signed a petition to the Department of National Health and Welfare at Ottawa, asking that Nurse Caisse be given facilities to do independent research on her discovery. Their petition, dated at Toronto on October 27, 1926, read as follows:
To Whom It May Concern:
"We the undersigned believe that the 'Treatment for Cancer' given by Nurse R.M. Caisse can do no harm and that it relieves pain, will reduce the enlargement and will prolong life in hopeless cases. To the best of our knowledge, she has not been given a case to treat until everything in medical and surgical science has been tried without effect and even then she was able to show remarkable beneficial results on those cases at that late stage.
"We would be interested to see her given an opportunity to prove her work in a large way. To the best of our knowledge she has treated all cases free of any charge and has been carrying on this work over the period of the past two years."
Initially, Rene was not aware of the control that the medical/pharmaceutical establishment had over governments. After the petition was delivered to the National Health and Welfare Department, she was continually threatened with arrest until she finally withdrew from public view. Unlike Nurse Caisse, the medical establishment was more interested in making money than in helping people. Essiac was cheap. It could cut into the lucrative profits from radiation, chemotherapy and surgery--treatments that often did more harm than good. Essiac is non-toxic. Rene said, "Chemotherapy should be a criminal offense." (taken from http://www.healthfreedom.info/Cancer%20Essiac.htm)

true it is that when we are blessed with certain things we sometimes forget
where we were at before that blessing.  Hope this helps you all to be 
thankful for all that you have, and remember that not everyone is as lucky
as you are!!! Remember to always be positive, and in this you will find that
you are grateful as well!
 
THINK  
 
 
 
There was 
a blind girl who hated herself because she was blind.  She 
hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He was  always 
there for her. She told her boyfriend, 'If I could only  see 
the world, I will marry you.' 
 
 
 
 
One day, 
someone donated a pair of eyes to her. When the  bandages 
came off, she was able to see everything, including  her 
boyfriend. 
 
 
 
He asked 
her,'Now that you can see the world, will you marry  me?' The 
girl looked at her boyfriend and saw that he was  blind. The 
sight of his closed eyelids shocked her. She hadn't  expected 
that. The thought of looking at them the rest of her  life 
led her to refuse to marry him. 
 
 
Her 
boyfriend left in tears and days later wrote a note to  her 
saying: 'Take good care of your eyes, my dear, for before  
they were yours, they were mine.' 
 
 
This is 
how the human brain often works when our status  changes. 
Only a very few remember what life was like before, and  who 
was always by their side in the most painful  situations. 
 
 
 
Life Is a 
Gift 
 
 
 
Today 
before you say an unkind word - Think of someone who  can't 
speak.  
 
Before 
you complain about the taste of your food - Think of  someone 
who has nothing to eat..  
 
 
Before 
you complain about your husband or wife - Think of  someone 
who's crying out to GOD for a  companion.  
 
 
Today 
before you complain about life - Think of someone who  went 
too early to heaven..  
 
 
Before 
whining about the distance you drive Think of someone  who 
walks the same distance with their  feet.  
 
 
And when 
you are tired and complain about your job - Think of  the 
unemployed, the disabled, and those who wish they had your  
job..  
 
 
And when 
depressing thoughts seem to get you down - Put a smile  on 
your face and think: you're alive and still  
around..
